First, I want to thank Ellery Kane for providing me this book so I may bring you this review.
Ellery Kane’s Shadows Among Us is her best book to date. It is a must-read book. The storyline is ripped from the headlines. This is one book that must be made into a movie! It would be a blockbuster!
This book tackles a lot of important issues. This being said some of these issues may be triggers for some readers. This book focuses on mental illnesses, PTSD, alcoholism, physical abuse, infidelity, rape, animal cruelty, repercussions of sending naughty selfies, dangers of online chat rooms, accusations of sexual assault, etc.
There are a lot of references to Star Wars in this book. So, if you are a Chewbacca fan you are in luck with this one.
On many occasions I thought Ellery wrote some very lines in the book.
This is Dakota’s story and what happened to her. It is told in present day and in the days leading up to her death. It is a story unlike any story you have ever heard. It is fascinating, gripping, and for many extremely relatable on many levels. Many times, I was very scared for her and wanted to hug her.
I loved when she wrote: we all have space inside us that we keep hidden from the world, a space we protect at all costs.
